________________________________________

Have you ever wanted to make your own game?

This course is for you. Unity has become one of the top platforms for game development, especially for newcomers to the industry. It is simple and powerful at the same time and very successful high-profile games have been created with it! Ever hear of Hearthstone? ;)

This course will begin with an introduction into the Unity UI. In order to keep the course exciting, there is no "C# Primer" for new programmers. Instead, Nathan will teach you about basic programming concepts along the way as he uses them to create the game code!

Nathan will take extra care in explaining different programming concepts in different ways in order to get those concepts to 'stick'. Being one of the top instructors on Udemy, he understands that students need to see a problem being solved in a number of ways, as not everyone learns the same way.

You will learn things like creating game objects, configuring prefabs, coroutines, timers, animation, UI, sounds and so much more. Nathan responds to questions very quickly, so if you have any trouble along the way, please send him a message!

Student Appreciation!

As a student, you will receive special discounts unavailable elsewhere for Nathan's other courses that are available now or are currently in the works!

And as always, 30-day refunds are 100% guaranteed if your satisfaction is not met!
